RED 2025. Chapter 8: Digitalization and management capacities

This chapter explores how digital tools can enhance the internal administration, procedures, and urban management of subnational governments. The importance of digitization in areas such as cadastre management and public procurement to increase efficiency is highlighted. Although the offering of digital services by local governments is limited, the potential of technology to improve security and urban management is emphasized. It is mentioned that the cost of digital tools can be a challenge for small jurisdictions, underscoring the crucial role of national governments in providing standardized systems to promote adoption and interoperability. Additionally, the importance of addressing digital divides to prevent the exclusion of population groups from government services is emphasized.
